sorekiwi 761 #2 Posted March 8, 2011 If the 312 had 6" wheels, then it will have longer spindles to compensate for the shorter tire/wheel combination. Apart from the length, the spindles will physically fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dgjks6 6 #5 Posted March 8, 2011 Are you going to put 8 inch tires up front? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
farmer 1,075 #6 Posted March 8, 2011 Rob, As Mike pointed out, you will need the 8" rims on the shorter 518's spindles to maintain the same height of the front axle. 312 has tall spindles and 6" wheels, hope this makes sense. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
